The UMass Lowell-Boston Herald poll has Brown leading Warren 41-to-38 percent. It’s considered a dead heat because the difference is within the poll’s margin of error of 3.8 percent.

WBZ-TV’s Jim Smith reports

Brown told WBZ NewsRadio 1030 Monday he has more important things to focus on right now.

“I’m going to have an opponent in November and I’m going to continue to do my job and work on the very important things people care about and that’s jobs, job creation and, it’s what, 13 months away? I’m not worried about polls, never have been.”

U.S. Rep. Niki Tsongas endorsed Warren Monday.

City Year co-founder Alan Khazei, state Rep. Tom Conroy, immigration attorney Marisa DeFranco, Newton resident Herb Robinson; and Robert Massie are also running.

It has become impossible to put a few hundred words together today without offending someone.

Political correctness is one of the biggest problems facing this country. America was a better place when we all knew how to laugh at ourselves & ‘Archie Bunker’…. as he pointed out our weaknesses every week…..

Imagine all the TV shows that could no longer be made today……If Sheriff Taylor were to take ‘Opie’ to the wood shed today, Barney would have to arrest him….I remember when the ‘Mouseketeers’ graduated from Disney to do beach movies…. Now they go from Disney to the tabloids….

Please go back to stats class. This poll does not show a dead heat. Brown is leading by 3 points. With a margin of error of 3.8%, he is equally likely to be leading by 6.8% as he is to be trailing by 0.8%. With polls starting to dominate the news, please learn what the numbers mean before writing headlines.
